• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W/139 - Enter planning number ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  W/139 Enter planning number
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when a planning number is required but has not been entered in a transaction or master data maintenance screen. The planning number is typically used in production planning, material requirements planning (MRP), or forecasting processes to identify a specific planning scenario or version.
  In many SAP modules (like PP - Production Planning, or SD - Sales and Distribution), the planning number helps differentiate between different planning runs, versions, or scenarios. If the system expects this input and it is missing, it issues this warning.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During creation or change of planning-related data (e.g., planning versions, forecasts, or planning runs).
  When executing MRP or demand planning transactions that require a planning number.
  When the system configuration or user exit expects a planning number but none is provided.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Enter the Planning Number:
  
  Provide the required planning number in the relevant field. This number is usually defined in customizing or master data and should correspond to a valid planning version or scenario.
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings:  
  
  Go to transaction SPRO ? Logistics ? Production ? Demand Management or relevant module settings.
  Verify if the planning number is mandatory for the process you are executing.
  If the planning number is not supposed to be mandatory, check if any user exits or enhancements enforce this requirement.
  
  
  
  Verify Master Data:
  
  Ensure that the planning number you enter exists and is active in the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Functional Team:
  
  If unsure about which planning number to use, consult your production planning or demand management team or refer to your project documentation.

  MD04 (Stock/Requirements List)  
  MF50 (Planning Table)  
  Other MRP or forecasting transactions
  
  
  
  Planning Number Usage:
  
  Planning numbers are often used to manage multiple planning versions or scenarios, allowing planners to simulate different demand or supply situations without affecting the main planning data.
  
  
  Message Class:
  
  The message W/139 is a warning (W), so it may allow you to continue but advises that the planning number should be entered for correct processing.
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Missing planning number where it is required.
  Solution: Enter the appropriate planning number in the relevant field.
  Additional: Check customizing and master data to ensure the planning number is valid and required.
